Disable multiple selection in Android Studio?

I was coding something and suddenly android studio started placing cursors on each and every selected line. I dont know if it is a feature that was fired because of some shortcuts that I am not aware of. This is the gif screencast.

enter image description here

How can I disable this behavior? Is it a feature? If so how to activate and deactivate it? What is it called?

use Alt + Shift + Insert.
If this isn't working, right click on code and click click in 'column selection mode`.

If you are on mac ⌘ (Cmd) + ↑ (Shift) + 8 will disable/enable it by default.

You must have activated Column Selection Mode.

Use Main Menu | Edit | Column Selection Mode to toggle it ON/OFF.
